"Everything in nature gives in its death; stars die and whole solar systems begin to evolve from the impregnation of the exploded stellar matter. Trees die, and from their wood human beings build homes and furniture, statues and Stradivariuses. If humans died in a healthy culture, they would not lock out the earth in metal coffins and carve their names on stone monuments, but would instead place the naked body in the earth and plant a tree above the silent heart." -William Irwin Thompson

masculine minds and selfish genes
Is there a Will tat programs and governs the course of things? I have a certain degree of affinity for the likes of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, but I am not sure. I definitely reject the self-important dichotomy some materialists impose on reality that separates the human mind and telos from natural randomness and stupidity. If there is telos at all (which it is hard to deny), then it exists in nature and not just within human skulls. A certain kind of entelechy seems to operate in all nature. (5 days ago)

Greek fatalism: I think there is a certain sense in which the Greeks were correct in their estimation of the role of fate. Mechanisms like enantiodromia (the tendency for a conscious pursuit to stimulate its unconscious opposite) certainly play a large role in human life. But this doesn't mean there is no freedom. Free will and fate are always a package deal. You never get one without equal measures of the second. (5 days ago)

Yes, we can distinguish between religion and spirituality. Religion tends to be the formal doctrines laid down by an institution erected to preserve the teachings of a founding and spiritually realized figure (Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, etc.). Spirituality, on the other hand, is the direct and personal realization and practice (ie, without need of dogma and doctrine) of what the founding figures taught without the need of institutions or priestly authorities.

Matt and Pyrrho... won't sit in the evolution tree
Quantum effects are certainly more pronounced at the microscopic level, but non-determinism has been accepted by science for almost 100 years. Quantum fluctuations are one of the reasons that DNA mutates. (6 days ago)

masculine minds and selfish genes
I don't disagree, but I would still say that with just logic there would be no philosophy. An element of wonder is required. (6 days ago)

I just watched your video on cannabis addiction and now I can see a whole new perspective on marijuana that you bought to me. Good to see something like that. Thanks.

Think of a rug, as the fabric of the universe, and when you are upon it, know that it separates you from the floor...when your foundation is made, let it be made in a surface deeper than that floor...let not your stabilization be that which is visible to the eye.

Hey man, nice channel here.
You wanna trade subscriptions?

Who knows, it could help.
And the least it'll do is help our image. :P
It could be a perfect and beautiful symbiosis!
Our community require growth, to say the least...

Peace, love and truth,

I just wanted to let you know that my university professor used one of your videos to clarify for Heidegger for my class, just though that might be a flattering bit of information. Great work, and depth, keep it up.

I have come to the realization that you are quite intelligent.

But I wonder what it is you question.
